Pumpkin in the cedar.

What started as sidewalk squash has now turned into a squash infestation of the cedar tree along the front walk. This 8-10lb beauty hangs about six feet off the ground inside the central core of the cedar. I figure it’ll make a kickin’ jack-o-lantern come October.

The tree doesn’t overhang the sidewalk. More likely that the squash should bounce down through the branches and roll out onto the sidewalk.

While I’m no fan of squash, I do love your heroin poppies. You slice those buds yet?

The heroin poppies are actually at one of the farms we visit on the weekends. We don’t ask them any questions about them. ;)

It’s living on our neighbor’s porch. They claimed ownership :D
